Scott Chen commented on MAPREDUCE-3361:
---------------------------------------
I think one thing we need to do is to refactor the raid.Encoder and raid.Decoder. So they
are generic to any ErasureCode. That way we can easily add different codes to Raid.

> ReedSolomon encoding (n, k) has n storage nodes and can tolerate n-k failures. Regenerating
a block needs to access k blocks. This is a problem when n and k are large. Instead, we can
use simple regenerating codes (n, k, f) that does first does ReedSolomon (n,k) and then does
XOR with f stripe size. Then, a single disk failure needs to access only f nodes and f can
be very small.
